My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1829

Elias seemed to have overexerted himself and nearly fell as he coughed violently.

Nash hurriedly wrapped an arm around Elias’ shoulders and patted his back, sending a gust of spiritual energy into his body as he turned to Kaden and said, “General Copper, please don’t say that!”

Elias was not in as great a shape as Kaden was. He was nearing his hundredth birthday and already had one leg in his coffin. His blood pressure spiked anytime he became even the slightest bit agitated.

Kaden seemed to realize he had gone overboard and fell silent.

Elias calmed down and sat on his chair as he said slowly, “Arguing with you won’t get us anywhere. Let’s have Nash make the final decision. Whoever Nash thinks will be the best fit will become the next commander of the Divine Strategy Squadron!”

Nash felt a headache forming when he heard that.

If he were the one making the final decision, he would be offending someone no matter who he chose, right?

“Actually, I think…”

“Stop. You must make this decision on our behalf!”

Kaden stopped Nash from saying no.

After a moment’s hesitation, Nash looked at the two men and asked, “Are you sure you want me to choose?”

Both men nodded in sync.

A sly grin appeared on Elias’ face.

Nash’s girlfriend was Dallas’ granddaughter, which was why he had no doubt Nash would choose Dallas.

When Kaden saw the grin on Elias’ face, the muscles on his face twitched as he said, “Remember to be fair, Nash. Mr. Varhess is watching you from the heavens!”

The corner of Nash’s lips jerked. Were they trying to put more pressure on him?

The smile on Elias’ face froze as he said somberly, “I’m sure Mr. Varhess will respect your decision!”

Nash drew in several deep breaths before saying slowly, “I choose…”

Both Elias and Kaden held their breaths as they stared at Nash intently.

“Benedict!”

That was why Nash had chosen Benedict.

Elias was just worried Benedict was not mature or grounded enough.

After all, the Divine Strategy Squadron was considered a governmental organization.

As commander of the Divine Strategy Squadron, even an offhand comment could influence the country’s state of mind.

However, Nash believed that Benedict would flourish from the pain of his great-grandfather’s death.

Perhaps the current Benedict would be vastly different from the previous Benedict.

After hearing Nash’s explanation, Elias smiled understandingly and said, “Aren’t you worried Dallas will stop you from entering his home after this?”

Nash smiled. “Mr. Cricton is a wise man. I’m sure he’ll understand the motives behind my actions!”

Elias’ phone, which he had placed on the table, began ringing. The screen showed it was a call from Dallas.

When he answered the phone, Dallas’ excited voice immediately rang out from the other end of the line, “Sir Landon, great news! I’ve got great news!”
